Leeds United want to sign Chelsea defender

Leeds United are reportedly monitoring the situation of Fikayo Tomori ahead of a potential loan move during the January transfer window.

The west Yorkshire outfit recently saw Robin Koch suffer a serious knee injury and he won't return to action for another three months.

Manager Marcelo Bielsa has stressed that the club won't buy another centre-back, but it is reported that he may be open to a temporary solution.

According to Football Insider, the Whites are keeping tabs on Tomori's situation and they could propose to sign him on loan next month.

Tomori has not made a single appearance for the Blues since September and he has clearly fallen down the selection order.

The likes of Kurt Zouma, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are all favoured of him for the central defensive role.

Aside from Leeds, Everton and West Ham United have also been credited with an interest in signing the England international on loan.
